The dockstar doesn't have a BIOS like a normal PC. But there is a way to overclock it (hardware wise), although it's not recommended, due to stability issues that may arise: http://gsg-elektronik.de/?id=96 It's in German, but you should get the meaning.by ingmar_k - Debian
Good to hear that it worked. ;-)by ingmar_k - Debian
Good luck. Normally it should all go well without any trouble. You seem to have used the newer kernel anyway, so the old one is unused ATM and the uninstall should have no ill effect. Just use "apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-5-kirkwood". After that the upgrade problem should be history.by ingmar_k - Debian

If the older kernel is still installed, then apt-get will find it and try to update it. Had a similar situation lately. I used my own 2.6.37 kernel, but had forgotten to remove the old kernel. Now apt-get upgrade wanted to update the kernel and I realized my mishap.by ingmar_k - Debian
Hmm, I just noticed a new kernel option in 2.6.38 and 2.6.39: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/EMBEDDED.html Could be quite interesting for a dockstar running emdebian from flash. But I didn't have time to check it out thoroughly. So, take this as a sidenote for the time being. Will see if I can try it out on my dockstar in the next few weeks.

Well, stopping the unused services might be a good idea generally, but I don't think that a service that is not accessed at all was giving you problems. What you probably won't get here is the solution to your problems directly. Why? Because we don't have your exact setup and we don't know all the details. So, it's up to you to do some testing.

You use a pretty old kernel and according to your top output you don't have any active swap. Those are two points which I'd say should be tested first. Start with adding swap and if that doesn't work try one of the newer kernels available. Oh and I guess you use some usb dongle for sound, as the dockstar doesn't have any sound device by default.

I highly doubt that a realtime kernel would make a difference. Playing webradio isn't a really something that requires realtime accuracy, so I don't see how it should help ;) First of all: What are you using now?

Mounting the /var directory on the second drive, through /etc/fstab should be it. Copying everything over from the existing /var-directory before using the new drive is needed, if you want to use the trick on a system that was already used. And then rename the old dir, just to make sure. That should be all that is needed to make it work, if I didn't forget something.by ingmar_k - Debian

Glad you got it sorted out. :) As I already said, and as you realized now, if you need an "allrounder" kernel, then the one from gorgone is most likely the way to go. If you need a kernel that is as small as possible, but still contains the necessary parts for a "normal" server install in NAND, then mine could be the better way. The best yet, is to start compiling your ownby ingmar_k - Debian

No problem. As I already said, if you don't have the time, never mind. ;-) I already tried the different patches and adresses on the one frame that didn't work out of the box, but no luck. Anyway, I don't need that thing, so I'm happy nonetheless.by ingmar_k - Displays

Hi Peter, I just posted a comment on hackfin's blog, asking him for some insight in howto add hack infos for currently unsuported pic frames. Now let's see if he finds the time and motivation to help us out.by ingmar_k - Displays
@petergunn: Hey Peter, did you have any luck with getting your hack to work? I mean the one you were posting a comment about on hackfin's site? I'm asking because I'm in the same situation right now.

Mine should have XFS support in it. But I don't know what else you need. I pretty much stripped down my kernel due to size limitations in the NAND. You can always have a look at the kernel-config file first to se if it has what you need. ;-) Oh and I think gorgone does ave a new "heavy" kernel ready. Link should be around here somewhere, too, if I' not mistakin'.by ingmar_k - Debian

For now I only tried the hack on my AMD based laptop, running Linux Mint 10. And I only got the display to show a 128x128 picture. Tried to chnage it, but to no avail as of yet.

Yep, that thing looks great. Too bad that there's nothing comparable available in the EU ATM. At least I don't know about anything that would come close in terms of price/performance ratio.This sure will be fun to tinker with.

I tried it right away. After installing python-dev and libusb-dev I was able to compile the hack itself.

I'd say it's time for a serial cable. ;) BTW, "nothing" is a bit vague. That's why the cable should shed some light on the matter of what really happens when trying to boot.by ingmar_k - Debian
Very nice find. So it seems that there is hope. Edit: Downloaded the files provided with the hack and installed sdcc. Nevertheless I could not compile the needed files.
